All February at Big Sky Artists’ Studio & Gallery: Wild Winter

In 2026, in addition to our permanent artists, the Big Sky Artists’ Studio & Gallery is also showing paintings and photographs from 8 emerging artists who are members of the Big Sky Artists Collective.

The February show, “WILD WINTER” highlights the wildlife that abounds in and around Big Sky. “Fox Peaking Over the Snow” by Patty Bauchman was the Jan-Feb cover for Montana Outdoors’ 45thAnnual Photo issue, and is one of the many pieces currently on display that brings this theme to life.

The gallery hangs new work at the beginning of each month also hosting a First Friday on the month event where we stay open later. Come join us this Friday, February 6 from 5 – 7pm to see new “Wild Winter” work and meet some of our artists. We look forward to sharing new work each month!

The Big Sky Artists’ Studio & Gallery is located at 88 Ousel Falls Road. Their phone number is 406-995-3596 and email is bigskyartistscollective@gmail.com

Exhibition: Master Painter George Hill – 1872

Friday, February 13 | 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM

Location:   Courtney Collins Fine Art, 32 Town Center Ave, C1, Big Sky, Montana 59716

1872 features all new, larger-than-life animal portraits—the artist’s homage to the wolves, bears, and bison that define the soul of America’s first national park. Hill’s most ambitious body of work yet in both scale and vision, each piece is rich with oil color and texture. The compositions are designed to both arrest and immerse the viewer with their bold yet simple arrangement. Powerful portraits of wolves in quiet intensity, bison standing like timeless sentinels and bears dominating the frame with strength and curiosity. These monumental canvases bring viewers eye-to-eye with Yellowstone’s most powerful and iconic inhabitants.   Immerse yourself in the spirit of Yellowstone through the bold, commanding vision of artist George Hill in his latest show 1872.
